    For me it’s mostly from the unintentional overthinking, being inundated by the all the different ways to do something, then becoming overloaded and lost on where or how to start

      I have once before explained it like the brain trying to solve all steps of a task at once. For some things it’s a huge advantage, but the more complex or open ended the task, the easier it is to be completely overwhelmed.

      Huh, happy shared cake day!
